Installation marks the beginning of the pastor’s ministry in a particular church. When a pastor takes over the leadership of a congregation, the church usually plans a special ceremony, called an installation service, to celebrate a new chapter in a congregation’s life and welcome the new minister. Although the specifics may vary among different congregations, key elements remain the same:

Charge to Pastor
A moderator, board member, elder or other member of the church or denomination provides a charge to the pastor as a reminder of his responsibilities. This can include the reading of Scripture passages and encouraging Bible Verse that concern those responsibilities.

Pastor Installation Prayers
One of the consistent elements of installation involves Pastor Installation Prayers. The message of most prayers geared to honor installation offer support to a new pastor, elder or minister. These installation prayers ask for guidance and blessings for the individual being installed.
